Been thinking about "how to increase the number of USDC transactions at shops" and have decided that the best way is to give people USDC cash back for buying things with USDC; and [loyalty] tokens for buying things with fiat. 

And then showing merchants how many people have those tokens. Or something of the sort.

Front toward enemy. @seyitaylor on twttr. 

if the issue is around getting merchants to accept USDC, the cost of a simple integration is zero cost - print them a QR code with their wallet address and put it right next to traditional card reader. Then when they see the activity, you sell them on the custom hardware/wallet that will make it easier for merchants to operate

The issues are bigger than that.

1. Comfort (not this crypto shit again!)

2. Easy, no-brainer USDC. For non-crypto natives, it's not real money until it's in their bank account.

3. Integration with existing systems — inventory, loyalty, customer management etc

4. Best-in-class customer UX is contactless. It means less time at the till, means you can serve more customers a day. Means staff have less cognitive overhead. Does your QR code move as fast?
